Municipality of Sfakia, Municipal area in southwestern Crete, Greece
The municipality spans 467 square kilometers across the White Mountains region, containing steep cliffs, gorges, and traditional mountain settlements.
The territory maintained independence throughout centuries, resisting multiple invasion attempts from Venetians and Ottoman forces due to its defendable mountain positions.
Local residents maintain traditional Cretan customs in stone-built villages, preparing regional dishes and maintaining ancient farming practices in the mountain terrains.
Visitors reach the municipality through the main road connecting Chania to Hora Sfakion, with regular bus services operating between coastal and mountain communities.
The region contains numerous hiking paths, including sections of the E4 European trail system that connects remote beaches with high-altitude mountain passages.
